hey everybody welcome back to let's talk
this is me your trainer mira
today i've got certain adjectives
written on the board for you and we are
going to learn how to make these
objectives
more attractive
by using certain words which are called
intensifiers
now just the way the word suggests
intensifiers which means that these are
the words that
give an intense expression or they will
tell you exactly
how
hungry you are
or how harsh someone was
basically these
intensifiers allow you to express
more properly and they help you amplify
certain words and certain adjectives
without actually being loud
now we usually end up saying words like
really or pretty for everything
but
when you are extremely hungry right
you're basically starving
you can always be a little hungry oh
maybe you are just you've just had food
but you don't mind eating again
basically there are three different
stages of in intensities
high intensity level
medium and low and that is why there are
different types of intensifiers you can
express yourself with so let's get going
and see how we can use different words
to express these objectives in a much
better way
now let's take a look at the first word
attractive
now you want to say that you actually
saw a girl
who was extremely attractive
or you wanted to just say that
okay she's maybe not that attractive
she's just
a little attractive
but for those who want to say how
extremely gorgeous this person is
try to use this intensifier
something that i just said
extremely
i'm going to pen down first i'm going to
pen down the high level intensifiers
then we will shift to medium and then we
will shift to low intensity okay now
extremely attractive tells you that the
particular person was
that attractive high level
now similarly take a look at the next
word tasteless maybe the food that you
cooked for the first time was tasteless
but how tasteless was it was it pretty
tasteless or really tasteless you can
always say utterly tasteless that means
there was no taste whatsoever you ruined
the whole meal
so you can use the high
level intensity intensifier which is
utterly
see how
small words adding these words can
change the meaning and change the
expression completely
before i forget completely is also a
high level intensifier now polite you
want to say that the particular person
you met was polite i met
mr sharma and he was a polite person how
polite was he
he was
absolutely polite another high level
intensifier
absolutely
he's a ceo of a company but he was
absolutely polite and that surprised you
okay
now lazy
someone is lazy do you know anyone who's
really lazy
well guys i know someone who's lazy and
that person is insanely lazy
another way to express
insanely
that person can definitely make me go
crazy because
his
laziness is insane no comparison
i can promise you that
see extremely utterly absolutely
insanely now there is a particular
lesson where you have learned how to
substitute words like really and very um
with the word hungry if you haven't
watched this
you there's a link somewhere here you
can go ahead and watch it but
if you want to say that you can still
use the word really because that is a
medium level intensifier if you must use
it so i'm going to make sure that i
write it here which is
very now let me just write
these were
high level
intensifiers
we've started with the medium
now um
your starving would be
a complete substitution and that would
go in the high level intensifiers but
using very here is completely
fine like i said okay now handsome say
you wanted to say someone you met
recently
looked handsome or you were just
scrolling your youtube channel
and um you saw someone you came across
someone who looked handsome
on a medium level maybe he was not that
attractive but you just want to say how
handsome he was in a medium not just
it's 50 50 half half so you can say
really handsome be very simple usually
the medium level intensifiers are simple
such as very and in this case i'm going
to use the word really
he was really handsome
hey have you checked out his channel i
think he's really handsome is a way to
express it now you want to
express that something was boring
today's movie was boring you can say
particularly boring it is considered as
the medium level intensifier
particularly
particularly boring now i want to say
that
someone was being silly today in the
office someone was being silly and just
cracking jokes all day i can use the
word
quite here quite silly
don't be
don't
crack jokes all the time that's quite
silly you know
so
using the word quite
yo
means i'm using a medium level
intensifier moving on from um silly to
slow
whenever things are going slow but maybe
your wi-fi
is slow in speed you can always say
today's today the wi-fi has been
specifically slow
right
maybe
someone was being harsh with you and you
didn't like it right you can always say
that hey that's that's not right you
shouldn't be speaking like that that's
slightly harsh you know
so you are yourself being a little um
medium
at a medium intensity you're trying to
express your feelings that don't say
such things it's slightly harsh
so i'm using the word slightly
did you can you notice the difference
from
very really particularly
quite specifically
slightly now from here on our low
intensity intensifiers will start
let me just mark these quickly
as the
medium
level intensifiers
medium
level
intensifiers
now
slightly harsh someone's words were
slightly harsh you got hurt
maybe you're worried about something how
worried you are you can always express
by saying
you were not home i have been waiting
for you i was somewhat worried somewhat
is another
low level intensifier
okay
let me just mark these a little later
slightly harsh
somewhat worried
romantic
well there are really different levels
of
being romantic you could have a high
intensity medium but let me give you a
low intensity here
you can use the word
mildly
mildly romantic
i recently read
a book and that was
mildly romantic okay but
quite silly
mildly romantic
not completely romantic
mildly romantic okay
easy did you write a test how easy was
it or how difficult was it
you can say that it was
relatively easy okay
relatively easy
again you're showcasing that it was
more um a little difficult but
relatively easy i could write the test
properly the quiz was relatively easy
the sudoku that i solved today was
relatively easy
now another word you're nervous i can
always use a few of the above that i've
already written i can say i was slightly
nervous
i was somewhat nervous
mildly nervous
um
relatively nervous all of these will
will definitely go with this word as
well let me use
somewhat i will use somewhat nervous
these are
low
level intensifiers
now
if you are asking me or if there's
anyone out there who's thinking can we
change and interchange and mix and match
well most certainly you can you can say
utterly
slow or utterly silly that goes correct
absolutely romantic
you can say very attractive
you can say extremely easy see how you
can interchange the intensity and
express exactly what you want to say and
what you mean to say
in the particular moment okay well guys
these were just some of the intensifiers
there's so many out there but try to use
them try to inculcate these in your
language in your written and verbal
language i guarantee that this will
change your game as long as english is
concerned well guys that's all for today
i will be back very soon with another
interesting lesson until then like i
always say keep practicing keep smiling
spread love this is me meera signing off
for the day guys bye
